Operation, cont’d
Definitions
The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout this manual:
Tie — An
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to more than one input.)
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also called configuration 0)
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 64 global memory presets can be stored in memory. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. Presets can be saved and recalled from the front panel or via any of the serial or LAN ports. For front panel operations, preset locations are assigned to the input buttons.
Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.
Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
Power
Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. The switcher performs a
•Systems with audio — RGBHV or Video and Audio both lit
•Systems without audio — RGBHV or Video lit and Audio unlit
The current configuration and all presets are saved in
NBecause BME 0 maps the slave BMEs upon power up, either all BMEs should be powered up simultaneously or BME 0 should be the last BME turned on.
Also, if any slave BME loses power, you need to issue any front panel command or simply cycle BME 0’s power to restore the current configuration.
